Tyler Bate Breaks Silence on WWE Absence: “I’m Not Injured, Just Waiting”

After months away from WWE Raw, Tyler Bate has finally addressed his current status with the company. In a short but meaningful Instagram post, Bate reassured fans that he is healthy and ready for action. He wrote, “Not injured. Waiting…” and ended the speculation surrounding his absence.
Bate had previously been out of action for eight months due to an injury he suffered in July 2024. His return came on the March 31 episode of Monday Night Raw in London, where he teamed up with Pete Dunne as the New Catch Republic. They faced the New Day in their comeback match but were defeated.
Since then, the duo has not appeared on Raw. However, they have continued to compete together regularly on WWE Main Event, staying active while not featured on the flagship show.
In the meantime, the tag team division has undergone changes. JD McDonagh and Finn Bálor of The Judgment Day recently regained the World Tag Team Championships after defeating the New Day on the most recent episode of Raw.
With the titles back in Judgment Day’s hands, many fans are now hoping for a fresh challenge. Tyler Bate has made his position clear. He is ready to return. All that remains is the right opportunity.
